Command Usage

•The web redirect feature is used to support billing for a public access wireless network. After successful association to an access point, a client is “redirected” to an access point login web page as soon as Internet access is attempted. The client is then authenticated by entering a user name and password on the web page. This process allows controlled access for clients without requiring 802.1X or MAC authentication.

•Web redirect requires a RADIUS server on the wired network with configured user names and passwords for authentication. The RADIUS server details must also be configured on the access point. (See “show bootfile” on page 65.)

•Use the show system command to display the current web redirect status.
